Default push vs pull vis a vis rudders

schlackoff, knock it off. you gibber worse than a gas station attendant trying
to claim degree from MIT.


Derek, you may be able to show a "force" being exerted on the rudder in this
way.
However, connect that rudder to a boat, and although this "force" may be
sufficient to pull that rudder further over (seen that), it will, EG almost
always, never be sufficient to act as a steering force for the boat to any
degree that is useable.
My apologies if I don't launch into some longwinded scientific dissertation.
